Question

Examples of the relationship between climate change and available water include: Select one: a. reduced moisture content in soil b. reduced snowpack c. all of these d. precipitation changes e. salt water intrusion from sea level rise

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The changing climatic condition has a direct impact on the available water on earth. This includes the following-

• Mitigation of moisture content in the soil which can be due to the increasing temperature or hot weather condition, and lack of rainfall in a particular region.

• Reduction in the snowpack can also result due to the increasing temperature in the atmosphere and higher amount of incoming solar radiation.

• Changes in the precipitation also can be a factor showing the relationship between the water and the changing climatic condition. This precipitation differs from one place to another.

• Intrusion of saline water into the freshwater region also takes place due to the increasing mean sea level.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C)- all of the above.
